"Hey Kalpi...You got
60%...Congrats..." Kalpana's friend Vani congratulates her by extending
her hand. Kalpana smiles and says "Thanks."
"So what have you planned? Further
studies or job?" Vani asks
Kalpana takes a deep breath and says
"No further studies and jo..." Her mind stops at the word
"job" and she leaves from there with a smile leaving behind a
confused Vani and a surprised Priya.
"What? Job? No Kalpi...Now it's time
up that you get married. I also got married at the age of 20 and now you are
21. We'll will search a good boy for you now." Kasturi says and Kalpana
gets angry. She turns to her grand ma for help who winks at her and she returns
the wink back.
"Mr. Mehra...Please Mr. Mehra...This
proposal is one of the best in the market. By investing in this project, you'll
earn only profit...There's no chance of any loss...It's my guarantee sir."
Raghav keeps requesting the client but the client walks out as he doesn't want
to risk his money.
"Damn...After so many months, I
could even get a single contract. What will I prove to dad who keeps taunting
me. If this continues, I am sure dad will make me join his business and get me
married soon."
6
months pass by...
"Kalpi...You wanted to try
working...Today 6 months have passed and you've changed over 4 jobs. Now how
much you want to waste your time?" Kasturi scolds her and Kalpana ignores
her words thinking how she struggled for 6 months.
First month she worked for an ad agency.
She was so impressed by the models who were posing for the photoshoot and hence
instead of doing her job, she kept dreaming about herself in place of the
actress. One day she was walking towards the shoot while being lost in her
thoughts and due to this, she dropped the files down from her desk and the
water from the flask fell on the wires which caused a short circuit. She was
dismissed after this incident.
The next job was for a call center.
Kalpana worked as a customer representative but was not pleased with her job.
She used to receive calls from different customers and they used to only phone
her to scold the company and product they were using. One day Kalpana lost her
patience and gave back to the client who was talking rudely to her. The manager
overheard the conversation and Kalpana was asked to resign.
The next job was that of a cashier in a
bank. Once she noticed a shooting taking place outside the bank and left her
desk to watch the shooting. She even forgot to close the drawer and looking at
her immaturity, the manager sacked her from the job.
The last job of Kalpana was as an air
hostess for a leading airline company. She was happy and content with her job
as she used to dress up well and stylish. She kept admiring her looks all the
while but one day everything came to an end. A passenger ordered for a cup of
coffee and Kalpana walked in wearing a red and white suit. She walked upto him
with a smile and he kept admiring her thighs while picking up his cup of
coffee. She started fuming in anger when she noticed his gaze on her thighs and
he winked at her after that whispering "Can you entertain me tonight? I'll
gift you the gold chain I'm wearing." This sentence was enough to make her
anger increase and she took the cup of coffee and spilled it on his thighs
which made him scream in pain. This was the last day of her job.
"Kalpi....Kalpi...Stop dreaming
now...See I and your dad have finalized a boy for you. He's 26 years old and a
Software Engineer...The family has its own business...Your dad and I were so
happy when they called us up after looking at your Shaadi.com profile."
Kasturi says while peeling the potatoes on the table.
"What? Mom you put my profile on
Shaadi.com? You dint even ask me once mom." Kalpana makes a puppy face and
looks away watching her dad walk upto her. "They want to meet Kalpana
tomorrow. Their son has come from Australia and he wants to have a talk with
Kalpana alone. So baby, get ready to meet your to-be husband."
